CanadianCIO Census 2016: Mapping Out the Innovation Agenda
Abstract:
The role of the CIO is evolving. They are increasingly perceived as top level executives that are being asked to weigh-in at senior meetings about non-IT issues. At the same time, however, the business side of operations is gaining sway over the IT budget and successfully dictating IT purchase priorities. Day to day priorities include operational concerns like security, privacy, reliability and managing budgets, but a new priority is emerging; business innovation. This CanadianCIO 2016 census report offers insights on issues ranging from stature and spend to challenges and the opportunities ahead based on detailed survey results from more than 100 senior technology leaders.
